There was a coherent protest for a bit then presumably someone got bored and saw the ideal tinderbox to set London on fire.

pretty much what happens in every British protest. I mean, fair enough there was looting and vandalism in the Libya riots, but at least they had a comparatively apt motivation and maintained a central mission

My relatives in Croydon said to give you guys advice: lock all doors windows the lot, close curtains and get anything you canto defend yourself bbgun ect. and put cardboard on the curtains if your window gets fucked up

It appears that some of my friends on facebook have lost their minds and instead of blaming morons that started this one of them quite oddly decided to say they have no idea what's going on then went onto ranting about the government.
